{"product_id":"the-great-unknown-peg-kingman-9781324003366","title":"The Great Unknown","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wet nurse in a lively Scottish household goes by an assumed name, but longs to know the identity of her father. A quarryman furtively extricates a remarkable fossil from an island off the Northumberland coast and promptly smuggles it abroad to Paris. A sensational best-selling book that shatters cherished notions about the universe and everything in it triggers widespread argument and speculation--but its author's name is a well-guarded secret. Another book, roundly ignored, neatly sets forth in an obscure appendix the principle that will become the centerpiece of Charles Darwin's \u003cem\u003eOn the Origin of Species\u003c\/em\u003e. All these threads--some historical, others fictional--converge and illuminate one another in unexpected ways in the climactic revelations of this brilliant story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peg Kingman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324003367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324003366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
